    Week 2, day 1 complete! Yay! I've been really conscious about stretching before and after to help with the shin issues. No probs today! Even picked up the pace a bit. Well, only for the last 2 running intervals but hey, it's a start.

    I'm starting week 2 tomorrow. So excited :) I can believe how much I'm enjoying this. W1D1 was Wednesday, and I was sooooo sore. I did W1D3 this morning and I feel great! No sore muscles!! I can't do it on Tuesday or Thursday, so I'm starting week 2 tomorrow, so two days in a row. I hope my body doesn't rebel!

    Just completed Week 2 Day 1, without any problems. I did it at a schools track, feels a little better on my feet.

    Week 2 day 1 done on the treadmill. I think it was a little easier. However I am scared for next week and the 3 minute run!

    I had made it to Week 3 before. It always helped me make the longer running intervals by listening to really fast, upbeat music.
    Started over with c25k last week. Did day 1 of week 2 yesterday. Things are going great so far.

    I'm a run behind because I took extra days to recover last week because of a sore ankle after running on a trail. Not a great idea for an ankle like mine. All seems well now, my last run was awesome. I'm making sure not to push myself too much and stretch A LOT. Great job everyone!

    Week 2 Day 2 done. Man my legs were crampy today. I guess that is incentive to make sure I drink more water!!

    Week 2 day 2 was pretty rough for me. I love to listen to IHeart Radio when I run and the good music was the only thing that kept me going.

    week 2 day 2 --- feels great but must admit that last 90 seconds of running today was a little tough - it was more like a shuffle than a full out jog : )
